Travel: Packing

2012/03/27

We leave next week and my mind is all over the place with things to do. But one of the biggest is WHAT to pack. I am a horrible packer. I imagine situations that are highly unlikely to happen and pack for those. This trip I am determined to keep it simple and remember the basics. Here is what I’m thinking…

What a lovely site! I just stumbled upon it and I love your taste and your writing. You have a lovely eye. I’ve added it to my google reader and can’t wait to follow your future adventures 🙂
Best,

Don’t forget bringing a warm coat/cardigan and a pair of sneakers. Lisbon is not a flat city, and you’ll have lots of “hills” to climb. And there’s this very interesting detail: our sidewalks are true killing instruments. Search the web for “Calçada Portuguesa” and you’ll see what I mean. Don’t bring stilletos for you will damage their heels in a minute (these sidewalks are not women-friendly, let me tell you!). In April, even if the days are sunny and warm, evenings tend to be cold, so be prepared for that.

And have a great trip! Enjoy! If you need any native tips, just email me and I’ll try to help immediately (I live between Lisbon and Sintra).
